Hmmm, a hydraulic pancake loadcell. Nice work, and probably well accurate enough for what your intended use is. If you have a scale company around that calibrates loadcells, they could probably confirm your pressure reading against a known deadload. Good thinking. :beer: |

Besides, this was a refrigerated container and that equipment has been removed so the tare weight would no longer be applicable, plus there is quite a bit of stuff in it already. The real aim of this exercise is to avoid loading it past the weight for the cheapest shipping rate . |
